Katie watched as Emily and Jacob stepped into the scanners.

Traitors. Even after I helped them, they go directly to the enemy. Katie thought bitterly.

Katie glared at the unoccupied scanner. That was the scanner that took her dad.

Dad died fighting that computer. If they're going to side with it, they can share the same fate.

Katie walked back into the elevator. She took it up to the factory floor, where the equipment lay. She picked up a metal beam and swung it into a machine. The machine sparked and a small flame appeared. The flame quickly spread and soon the whole factory was engulfed in fire.

Katie watched as the factory burned.

You said everything was going to be okay. You lied. You lied, Dad. You stepped into that scanner and you never stepped out. Mom went with you. You even got me to go with you. You said you were going to be back.

Katie's mind briefly flashed to her mother. Her mother, Yumi, who had gone with her father and failed to protect her own daughter from Xana's clutches.

Yumi tried to help her daughter get over everything that happened. Yumi tried so hard to protect Katie. In fact, Yumi tried so hard to protect Katie that she died because of it.

You failed, Mom. You said that you tried, but trying isn't enough. You can't stop me from hurting them. Just like you couldn't stop me from setting fire to all those doctors' houses. I know they died. And so did you. Just like Dad.

Katie remembered that one of her previous doctors had diagnosed her with being emotionally traumatized. He wanted to lock her up.

And you didn't say no, Mom. If he was going to call me crazy, he should have just said it.

Was setting fires to places and watching them burn a bad thing? Katie often thought about that. Her father had died in that virtual world because of a fire.

The fire was small, unnoticed by Ulrich. He drew his swords and charged at Xana.

Xana responded with several volts of electricity. The electricity hit Ulrich just as his young daughter began to run towards him. Xana noticed the small flame and knew that if the child ran through it, she would die. He aimed a small blast of electricity at the girl to stun her.

"Daddy!"

His electricity hit it's mark. Ulrich's young child would be saved. Red energy surrounded her and she fell backwards.

"Katie!"

Yumi rushed up to her daughter.

Knowing that Katie would be safe, Xana and Ulrich continued their fight. Things went from bad to worse when that little flame erupted into a full-fledged fire.

"Ulrich, you should leave."

"Not until I'm done with you!"

Xana knew that Ulrich was stubborn. But this?

Yumi was checking to see if Katie was okay.

"Ulrich, leave!"

"Make me."

Xana glanced over to Yumi and Katie. They were leaving the building.

"Your family is leaving. Why don't you go with them?" Xana attempted.

"I won't leave until you're gone, Xana."

Before Xana had a chance to respond, the fire reached to a small container. Xana knew what it was. Ulrich stepped toward him to deliver a blow. The battlefield exploded in flames.

Yumi and Katie stared in horror as both Ulrich and Xana vanished behind a wall of fire. They watched as a weakened Xana staggered away. A small burnt container labeled 'gasoline' flew towards them. Ulrich never returned.

Katie watched as the factory burned to the ground.

Just like you did, Daddy.

Author's Note: At least it has Katie in it! R&R please.
